Several times I've started and abandoned a long, wordy post about all the turmoil in my life recently and just haven't had the heart to post it. I'm tired of dwelling on all of the negative things. In short, it was finals, we're trying to plan for the summer, we were all stressed, we were all sick, and we all survived. Now that it's Spring Break the world is a much sunnier place. So this one is mostly photos, fewer words, and lots of fun.
When you put Thomas in the high chair his chubby little legs sometimes get stuck and he looks like a little baby Buddha.
Our Irish feast: bangers and mash, soda bread, roasted root veggies, and of course some Guinness.
My two Irish babies: Lily helping make soda bread and Thomas desperately wanting to help.
Cold weather cabin fever has led to some interesting imaginative play.
Happy Birthday turtle cake for my father-in-law made entirely out of supplies I already had and Lily helped quite a bit.
It's a bit hard to see, but Lily has set Thomas up quite nicely. She wrapped him in her panda towel to keep him "nice warm", laid out a book for him to read, and positioned the mirror so he could see his face. She loves being a little mama.
We visited the Adler Planetarium and I was pleasantly surprised by the number and quality of little kid activities. I'd like to go back with just Joe to look at some of the more detailed exhibits and catch a show.
This morning we went to the Chicago Easter Eggstravaganza at Soldier Field. Lily got some candy and climbed all the way through one of those inflatable obstacle courses. Joe got to stand on the grass on the field. And I got to take pictures.
Lily got a haircut! She said she wanted short hair just before bath time so I grabbed the hair scissors and hacked off a hunk. I needed to trim it a little to even it out, and we'll see the final results in the morning after it dries.
So that's some of the good in our lives of late. And the rest, well, we'll just let it be.
